'Sports Roundup' Covers Horace Greeley Sports Independently
For several years now, Horace Greeley High School has been putting out a school newspaper called Sports Roundup. The homespun magazine allows students to merge their passions for professional sports, its varsity teams and their writing acumen. Prior to last June, a staff of ten would collect and word process their stories before running a few hundred copies through the Xerox machine. As it turned out, advanced technology that belonged to the editor in chief's father. That procedure—even after adding the staples—just didn't sound right to Josh Rosen when he joined the publication as a freshman contributor.

The American Basketball Exposure League
Once again, this article will be somewhat different. One of my recent articles was about my newly established YouTube channel. If you read that article, I provided a link to my channel within the article. If you didn't check out the article (or the channel), feel free to do so. In fact, this article revolves around a video that I did on my channel. The video was for the American Basketball Exposure League, so there may be some similarities between this article and that video.

My Other Job Was as an MLB Catcher: The Curious Case of World War II Spy Moe Berg. Top Story - August 2018.
With just 441 hits, a career batting average of .243, and only six career home runs, Moe Berg is hardly worthy of his own exhibit at the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. However, it is present nonetheless. In fact, it not only is there, but the curators of the exhibit are even proud to showcase it. Why is this? What could possibly merit this man having his own exhibit? The answer to that question is as convoluted and unique as Moe Berg's life itself. You see, even though as a baseball player he was at best average, he was an extraordinary man who encompassed so much more than the game he loved. He played a 15-year career during the Great Depression and World War II, and it was during this time that he demonstrated a great love for his country as well. The crux of the matter is this: Moe Berg also made his mark as a World War II spy. Moe Berg did intelligence work for the Office of Strategic Services, which was the forerunner of the CIA. Even though this man never played a full season in the MLB, his work in the war effort is what has earned him this unique exhibit at Cooperstown.

How Good Actually Is LeBron James Jr?
Being the son of arguably the best basketball player of all time can be hard enough without the media watching your every move. LeBron James Jr. is LeBron James's 13-year-old son who is already making headlines in major sports media outlets such as ESPN and The Undefeated. A lot of these media outlets overexaggerate how good he actually is, such as well know basketball YouTube channel Ball is Life. At the time this article is being written, Ball is Life has made 16 highlight videos featuring Lebron James Jr. and his AAU team North Coast Blue Chips, which is coached part-time by his father LeBron James. After personally evaluating these highlight videos, it is evident that LeBron James Jr. is good for his age, but he obviously isn't as good as the media claims he is.

A sport like football hinges on teamwork, dedication, and sacrifice.
